Tree of Hope Wall Hanging (Lg)

Painted birds flutter in this handcrafted tree of hope, as artisans build lives from their craft. To create cut metal pieces such as this, Haitian artisans cut open 55-gallon drums, hammer them flat, and then mark designs on the black metal with chalk. Using a hammer and chisel, they pound and cut through the metal to make designs. Intricate painting adds to the striking design.
